Vietnam has one of the best school education systems in the world. The country's children perform well in international tests of reading, math and science skills. At the "64th International Mathematics Olympiad (IMO2023)", out of the six high school students who participated on behalf of Vietnam, all participants won medals, with two gold medals, two silver medals, and two bronze medals.
According to the World Bank, Vietnamese students outperform not only their fellow Southeast Asian countries Malaysia and Thailand, but also students from developed countries such as the United Kingdom and Canada, which are more than six times as wealthy as their home country. What is also noteworthy is that there are no gender or regional differences in student performance in Vietnam.
On the other hand, it is known that the level of education in science and mathematics, which is a key factor in economic development, is extremely low in Thailand and Indonesia. Please refer to the following.
◼️PISA worldwide ranking
Thailand: 60th out of 77 countries
Indonesia: 71th out of 77 countries
It may be a harsh point, but no country has ever joined the ranks of the developed world despite its low level of education (especially in science and math). Developed Asian countries such as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and China are all known for their high levels of education, especially in science and mathematics.
Therefore, judging from the perspective of educational standards, Vietnam is the most promising country in Southeast Asia, with the exception of Singapore.
In fact, Vietnam's electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer VinFast has been listed on the U.S. NASDAQ market, and its market capitalization has made it the third largest automaker in the world after Tesla and Toyota. As far as I know, there is no company in Indonesia or Thailand that is at the same level.
